Police said a passerby called 911 around 7:40 a.m. saying there was a woman in the middle of the highway who appeared to have been hit by a vehicle.

Police had the highway blocked off for most of the day as officers investigated.

“(There was) a truck out here in front with the flashing lights,” said James Reagan, who lives nearby. “Blue lights downs the road. I had no idea what was happening.”

Reagan said that when he woke up around 8 a.m., he saw police near his home, but had no idea what was going on.

“In fact, I’ve only seen two police cars go back and forth here,” he said. “That makes you wonder, ‘What in the world?’”

Investigators think the woman had been walking east from Milton to Carrollton when she was hit.

Reagan said he didn’t know what to think when he heard what had happened.

“What in the world, you know?” said Reagan. “Was it one of mine? What’s happened, you know? I got kids and grandkids that run up and down the road here all the time, but this makes you stop and think.”

Reagan said he’s lived in his home for 26 years, but has never heard of someone being hit and killed.

“No, never,” he said. “We’ve had fatalities right out there in front of the house, but it was nothing like this. I mean, you know, knew what was going on there. But no, nothing ever like this.”

State Police said they have not yet identified the woman who was hit and killed.

They are asking anyone who was driving on Highway 36 between Milton and Carrollton between 6:30 a.m. and 7:40 a.m. on Thursday to call Kentucky State Police Post 5 in Campbellsburg at 502-532-6363, or 1-800-222-5555.
